As previously described, UE105 can generate feedback message, and sends feedback message to radio station 115.Radio station 115 can be carried out link circuit self-adapting according to the feedback message receiving.Term as used herein " feedback message " is estimated to be broadly construed to the transfer of data/receiving element that comprises any type, comprising datagram, grouping, frame, cell (cell) or piece.Described below is the demonstration feedback message with UEP.For the ease of discussing, suppose that UE105 generates the feedback message with regular length.But in other is realized, this may be really not so.For example, UE105 can generate the feedback message with variable-length according to for example channel condition.That is to say, in the situation that the high and transmission rank of channel path loss is low, low with channel path loss, transmission rank is high and can comprise the CQI of greater number in feedback message time compared with, feedback message can comprise still less CQI and have accordingly less length.But, still can be according to concept application unequal error protection as herein described.

Understand, although supposition UE105 can generate the feedback message 900 with regular length, M (0) can not have each self-contained feedback parameter to M (r_max).For example, if transmission rank 1 is determined in the feedback processing unit of UE105 410, feedback processing unit 410 can for example, calculate CQI to one deck (part M (0)) only.That is to say, part M (1) can not comprise the useful information for link circuit self-adapting to M (r_max).For example, part M (1) can comprise useless (garbage) value to M (r_max).In this, these values are not useful to carrying out link circuit self-adapting.In other is realized, this may be really not so.For example, in the time that feedback message 900 has variable-length, blank value can not exist.In addition, feedback message 900 can comprise the CQI of more than one transmission rank and omit transmission rank and recommend or order, and thus transmission rank is selected to leave for completely radio station.
UEP encoder 415 can be encoded to feedback message 900 with UEP.As shown in the figure, each M part of feedback message 900 can have corresponding error protection grade (for example F (0) is to F (r_max)).For example, F (0) to the error protection grade of F (r_max) can be corresponding to F (0) > F (1) ... > F (r_max).That is to say, part M (0) can have the error protection grade higher than part M (1), and part M (2) can have the error protection grade higher than part M (3), etc.The M part with the error protection grade higher than another M part can provide the larger possibility while there is random error during the transmission, the information bit in this M part being correctly decoded.In other is realized, wherein, part M (0) can distribute according to the feedback parameter wherein comprising by different way to the error protection grade of M (r_max).
An example of transport property is transmission rank.Conventionally, for example,, when channel path loss high (, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-jamming ratio (SIR), signal to interference plus noise than (SINR) etc.), transmission rank is low.Other factors can be indicated low transmission order, the channel condition information of for example geometric size (for example arriving the distance of radio station 115) and/or other type, as reciprocal (reciprocal) channel parameter (, the relevant parameter of essence between the up link of UE105 and down link).For example, low geometric size can be converted into stronger interference (for example low SIR).On the contrary, in the time that channel path loss is low, transmission rank is conventionally high.In this, different from existing feedback scheme, advantageously utilize transmission rank and be applied to the relation existing between the error protection grade of M part in feedback message 900.That is to say, UEP can be applied to feedback message 900, making to provide than the higher error protection grade of M part that does not comprise (useful) information to the M part that comprises (useful) information.
According to described these hypothesis and/or relation, when UE105 recommends or when order low transmission order, conventionally in feedback message 900, need to recommend or higher error protection grade when order high-transmission order than UE105.Therefore, in feedback message, need than the error protection grade higher with the related feedback fraction of high-transmission order with the related feedback fraction of low transmission order.For example, if feedback fraction M (0) is relevant with transmission rank 1, and M (1) is relevant with transmission rank 2, the error protection grade that M (0) need to be higher than M (1).Therefore,, by feedback message 900 is applied to UEP encoding scheme, can make the average probability of error minimum of useful feedback fraction.
According to these concepts, in feedback message 900, can provide the highest error protection grade to transmitting corresponding information bit with single order in (M) part.But, understand, in the time that transmission rank is greater than 1, feedback message 900 can comprise single CQI.For example, if UE105 comprises linear MIMO receiver, and adopt the large cyclic delay diversity (CDD) that postpones, effective CQI of whole layers used can be identical, because for example, can interweave on whole space dimensionalities used from the data (symbol) of each layer.But if UE105 comprises the receiver of successive interference cancellation type (SIC), the CQI of decoded layer can increase subsequently.Therefore, may need multiple CQI and UEP.
Fig. 9 B is the sketch that the feedback message 900 that comprises the feedback fraction of demonstrating is shown.Part M (0) can comprise CQI or blank value according to transport property value separately to M (r_max).Transport property value can be comprised in feedback message 900.For example, be 1 if transport property is transmission rank and transmission rank value, part M (0) can comprise the CQI for the stream corresponding with transmission rank 11, and part M (1) can comprise blank value to M (1_max).In another case, feedback message 900 can comprise transmission rank value 2.In this case, part M (0) can comprise the CQI for the stream corresponding with transmission rank 21, and part M (1) can comprise the CQI for the stream corresponding with transmission rank 22.Part M (2) can comprise blank value to M (r_max).Therefore, in this feedback scheme, part M (0) to the content of M (r_max) can such as, based on transport property value (transmission rank, number of carriers etc.).Understand, in the time that for example feedback message 900 has variable-length, blank value can not be comprised in feedback message 900.More the feedback fraction content of high-transmission order value is similar.In the example of Fig. 9 B, M (0) and transport property (order) value 1,2 ... scope association (r_max+1), because the content of feedback fraction is applicable to all these transport property values.Similarly, for M (i), wherein i=2 ... r_max, M (1) and value 2,3 ..., the scope association of (r_max+1) etc.This illustrates the ordered set of feedback fraction because the minimum in the transport property value scope of M (0), 1 lower than the minimum in the property value scope of M (1), 2, for subsequent feedback part, the rest may be inferred.
Fig. 9 C is the sketch that the feedback message 900 that comprises another demonstration feedback parameter set is shown.Such as, but with Fig. 9 B contrast, feedback message 900 can not comprise transport property value (transmission rank, number of carriers etc.).But, part M (0) to the content of M (r_max) can be based on transport property.For example, suppose that UE105 provides the CQI of transmission rank 1 and 2 (being r_max=1) to recommend.In this case, part M (0) can comprise the CQI for the stream associated with transmission rank 11, and part M (1) can comprise for flowing 1 CQI and the CQI of the stream 2 for can be associated with transmission rank 2.In this example, radio station 115 can be selected using transmission rank 1 or use between transmission rank 2 because it for by feedback message 900 can with two kinds of situations all there is CQI.In this example, M (0) is for example, with the scope (this scope only comprises a value) of transmission rank value 1 associated, because the content of M (0) is only transmitted applicable to order 1.Similarly, M (1) is for example, with the scope (this scope only comprises a value) of transmission rank value 2 associated, because the content of M (1) is only transmitted applicable to order 2.This illustrates the ordered set of feedback fraction because the minimum in the transport property value scope of M (0), 1 lower than the minimum in the transport property value scope of M (1), 2.
Although describe feedback message 900 with reference to the CQI of different layers, concept as herein described has application widely.For example, UEP can be applicable to any feedback parameter that can be based on every layer of report.Therefore, can provide the error protection grade higher than other feedback parameter to being considered to prior any feedback parameter at for example channel path loss Gao Shike.Similarly, can provide the error protection grade lower than other feedback parameter to can be considered to not too important any feedback parameter in the time that for example channel path loss is low.
Although Fig. 9 A-9C illustrates demonstration feedback message 900, in other is realized, compared with described, that feedback message 900 can comprise is additional, difference or feedback parameter and/or feedback fraction still less.As a supplement or substitute, in other is realized, the distribution of unequal error protection can be different.
Figure 11-12 relate to can with concept related demonstration program described herein.Figure 10 illustrates to be to generate the demonstration program that feedback message 900 is carried out by UE105.Figure 11 illustrates the demonstration program that can be carried out for the link circuit self-adapting based on feedback message 900 by radio station 115.Figure 12 illustrates the demonstration exchange of the transmission that can comprise feedback message 900 between UE105 and radio station 115.
Figure 10 illustrates the flow chart that can be used for the demonstration program 1000 that generates feedback message 900.Process 1000 can start from receiving signal transmission (frame 1005).For example, with reference to Figure 12, radio station 115 can transmit the first transmission 1205 to UE105.UE105 can receive the first transmission 1205.
Get back to Figure 10, channel condition can be determined (frame 1010) according to the signal transmission receiving.Channel estimating can be carried out according to the first transmission 1205 in the feedback processing unit 410 of UE105.For example, feedback processing unit 410 can calculate the channel condition information of SIR, SNR, SINR estimation and/or other type, to determine channel condition.
Feedback parameter can be determined according to channel condition (frame 1015).For example, feedback parameter can be determined according to channel condition in feedback processing unit 410.As previously described, feedback parameter can comprise the transmission characteristic information of for example transport property (for example transmission rank, the number of carriers that will transmit), CQI and/or other type.
Can generate the feedback message (frame 1020) that comprises feedback parameter.Feedback processing unit 410 can insert feedback parameter in feedback message 900.For example, feedback processing unit 410 can generate feedback message 900, to comprise transport property value and corresponding CQI (for example, previously described in Fig. 9 B).Alternatively, feedback processing unit 410 can generate feedback message 900, to comprise the CQI (for example, previously described in Fig. 9 C) for multiple transport property values.
Feedback message can encode with unequal error protection code (frame 1025).The UEP encoder 415 of UE105 can carry out unequal error protection to feedback message 900.For example, as previously, in conjunction with as described in Fig. 9 A-9C, feedback message 900 can comprise that M (0) was to M (r_max) part.In other is realized, feedback message 900 can have variable-length, and (M) quantity of part can change, as previously described.
The distribution of UEP can have feedback parameter in feedback message 900 layout and/or sequence between relation.As a supplement or substitute, the error protection grade that offers each parameter in feedback message 900 can be based on for example transport property.In one implementation, the distribution of UEP can be fixed.For example, with reference to Fig. 9 B, M part can have fixing UEP grade separately, and irrelevant with its value.These concepts are applicable to the feedback message 900 of fixing or variable-length.
Can transmit feedback message (frame 1030).UE105 can send feedback message 900 to radio station 115 via MIMO transceiver 205, as transmitted as shown in the of 1210 by transmitting feedback message in Figure 12.
Although Figure 10 illustrates demonstration program 1000, in other is realized, can carry out still less, add and/or different operations.For example, process 1000 can comprise the definite information different from channel condition information, such as precoding information, wave beam formation information etc.Feedback message 900 can comprise this additional information.
Figure 11 illustrates the flow chart that can be used for carrying out according to the feedback message 900 of unequal error protection the demonstration program 1100 of link circuit self-adapting.Process 1100 can start from receiving feedback message (frame 1105).For example, with reference to Figure 12, radio station 115 can transmit 1210 reception feedback messages 900 via feedback message.
With reference to Figure 11, can be to decode with the feedback message that UEP code is encoded (frame 1110).The UEP decoder 815 of radio station 115 can be decoded to feedback message 900.
Feedback parameter (frame 1120) in soluble feedback message.The feedback parameter comprising in the soluble feedback message 900 in feedback processing unit 810 of radio station 115.Because the feedback fraction comprising in feedback message 900 is encoded with UEP, so in one implementation, radio station 115 can form differently with existing scheme the explanation of feedback message.For example, radio station 115 can form explanation according to the weighted scale corresponding with error protection grade (scale).In this, compared with thering is the feedback parameter of lower error protection grade, can carry out more heavily weighting to the feedback parameter that provides higher error protection grade.Comprise in the example of M part without useful value at feedback message 900, can ignore these parts.In one implementation, the M part without useful value can be identified according to value itself and/or transmission rank in feedback processing unit 810.
Subsequent transmission can be carried out adaptation (frame 1125) according to the explanation of feedback message.Transmit the subsequent transmission that processing unit 805 can be fitted to according to the explanation of the feedback parameter comprising in feedback message 900 UE105.For example, transmitting processing unit 805 can adopt adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) and/or other signal and protocol parameter to improve data throughout.For example, transmit processing unit 805 and can select suitable modulation scheme, pre-coding scheme etc. according to feedback message 900.
Can transmit subsequent transmission (frame 1130).Radio station 115 can send subsequent transmission to UE105 via transceiver 605, as transmitted as shown in the of 1215 by transmitting second in Figure 12.
Although Figure 11 illustrates demonstration program 1100, in other is realized, can carry out still less, add and/or different operations.
Different from existing solution, concept as herein described utilizes transport property, as transmission rank and be applied to contacting between the error protection grade of different piece in feedback message.Therefore, and compare with related other feedback parameter of high-transmission property value more, the feedback parameter associated with low transmission property value can be subject to error protection more.
Understand, the application of concept described herein can expand to other communication system.For example, in multicarrier (MC) system, as in to the expansion of WCDMA system, the quantity of carrier frequency can be corresponding to the space layer in mimo system by analogizing.In addition, the CQI of different frequency can be by analogizing the CQI corresponding to different spaces layer in mimo system.The quantity of space layer in number of carriers and mimo system (being transmission rank) is the example of transport property.Correspondingly, in MC system, due to system complexity or other reason, independently there is identical control with the quantity of institute scheduling carrier wave and/or feedback channel can be favourable.If channel condition is good, the quantity of carrier wave used can be higher, and if channel condition is bad, the quantity of carrier wave used can be lower.Therefore, compare with the feedback fraction corresponding with transmission on most carrier waves, the feedback fraction corresponding with transmission on minority carrier wave can need higher error protection grade.
Precoding is the popular technique being combined with multi-antenna transmission.Basic ideas are to mix and assigned modulation symbol on antenna, may consider current channel condition simultaneously.This often realizes by information being carried to the selected matrix multiple of symbolic vector and match channels.Symbolic vector comprises modulation symbol.Therefore, symbolic vector sequence forms parallel symbol adfluxion and closes, and each this symbol stream is known as layer.Therefore, depend on that precoder selects, layer can be directly corresponding to certain antenna, or it can be assigned to some antennas via precoder mapping.Precoding is one of crucial MIMO technology in LTE.In two-forty multi-antenna transmission field, one of most important properties of channel condition is so-called channel sequence.Roughly, channel sequence can change to the minimum number that transmits and receives antenna from one, is expressed as r here max.Taking 4 × 2 systems, the system with four transmitting antennas and two reception antennas is as example, maximum channel order thereby be two.Channel sequence changes in time, because fast-fading changes channel coefficients.In addition, it determines the number of plies that can successfully carry out concurrent transmission.Therefore,, if channel sequence is one in the moment of two-layer transmission, exists with these two-layer two corresponding signals and will disturb to obtain so high likelihoods that make to detect mistakenly at receiver these two layers more.
In order to make to transmit the channel condition that is applicable to variation, receiver can pass through the efficient channel quality of CQI (CQI) to each layer of reflector report (feedback).Making, the quantity of transport layer is applicable in the communication system of channel sequence, and receiver report is for the CQI of the layer of variable number.But, in fact, make the length of feedback report change and often be considered to infeasible (note, feedback report can comprise the out of Memory except CQI, the selection of for example pre-encoder matrix) with channel condition.But, in feedback report, be the layer r of maximum quantity maxcQI retain position.
In the existing solution of every layer of CQI of employing, feedback report comprises r all the time maxindividual CQI.
Although it should be noted that from the term of 3GPP LTE and be used in this application illustrating the present invention,, this should not regard as the scope of the invention is only confined to said system.Other wireless system that comprises WCDMA, HSPA, WiMax, GSM, UMB also can benefit to utilize the thinking containing in the disclosure.
In existing solution, feedback report process chnnel coding, and do not consider that the more required feedback message of high-transmission order needs less protection.Therefore, existing solution is not utilized contacting between transmission rank r and error protection needs.
According to the present invention, use unequal error protection (UEP) channel code, to higher error protection is given in path loss high (low SNR) or geometric size prior feedback or control signal part when low.Similarly, give at path loss low (high SNR) or the geometric size lower error protection of prior feedback fraction when high.
Use a CQI report example as feedback, the present invention is in the time that the quantity of institute's requesting layer is low and realize strong CQI error protection by making to have the highest protection corresponding to the information bit of r=1 in the time that possible path loss is high.In the time of r=1, the information bit corresponding with the CQI that does not use layer do not carried any useful information.Therefore the mistake on these does not affect.Along with increasing continuously r, give lower continuously error protection to the position corresponding with the CQI of add layer.By application UEP coding, can make average layer CQI error probability minimum.
When channel sequence is greater than for the moment, also can there is the use of single CQI.For example, change with linear MIMO receiver and be combined with if postpone greatly CDD or stratification, effective CQI of all layers used is identical, because interweave on all space dimensionalities used from the symbol of each layer.But if use the receiver of successive interference cancellation (SIC) type, the CQI of follow-up decoded layer/code word will increase.Therefore need extra signaling bit for supporting SIC, and those positions are without strong protection.This is the additional motivation to the higher error protection grade one of in CQI.
The present invention is not limited to the UEP coding of the CQI to different layers.UEP principle is also effective for other parameter of every layer of report.In addition this principle can be generalized to beyond the parameter contacting with space layer.
Can use another example of propose invention is in multicarrier (MC) system, if current WCDMA system is in the expansion of multiple carrier waves.In this case, the quantity of carrier frequency has the implication identical with space layer in mimo system.In this MC situation, the CQI of different frequency will arrange the CQI of middle different spaces layer corresponding to MIMO.In this MC system, due to system complexity or other reason, independently there is identical control with the quantity of institute scheduling carrier wave or feedback channel can be favourable.Therefore,, if scheduling is less than the carrier wave of maximum quantity, do not need the control information of non-scheduled carrier wave.Therefore, do not need (or seldom needing) error protection for those positions.By the principle described in application the present invention, can keep identical control channel structure, and no matter the quantity of carrier wave used.
By following detailed description of the present invention, other object of the present invention, advantage and novel feature will be apparent.
This trifle is described the concrete example that the invention that provides is provided in more detail.But it should be noted that this is not to limit the scope of the invention.
If r≤r maxrepresent that receiver feeds back the number of plies for information about.If r=r max, receiver request/recommendation full rank transmission.If r=1, receiver request individual layer transmission.R in feedback report maxin individual CQI, only r (suppose every layer of CQI, also can use the scheme with less CQI) comprises useful information.Reasonably hypothesis is, when low with r compared with, to error protection in the time that r is high need to be lower.This is that for example, the more required feedback message of high-transmission order need to still less be protected because in the time that receiver more approaches reflector (center of housing estate).For example, in the time of channel path loss low (high SNR) or geometric size high (comprising less interference), (high-transmission order is r) more favourable for multilayer transmission.In the time of high (the low SNR) of path loss or low geometric size (comprising more strong jamming), in the time that receiver is often illustrated in cell edge away from reflector, in the time considering cellular system, individual layer transmission (r=1) more likely.Suppose that path loss is reciprocal between up link and downlink channel, when r low (low SNR), the needs of the error protection to feedback report are conventionally higher.Similarly, when r high (high SNR), the needs of the error protection to feedback report are conventionally lower.
If M 0represent not comprise in feedback report the part of layer customizing messages.If A represents M 0the quantity of middle information bit.If M irepresent in feedback report corresponding to i layer (1≤i≤r max) part, be more particularly the CQI of layer i.If M ifor b iposition and feedback report comprises C=A+B information bit altogether.Do not change and illustrate with r by supposition A and B.Due to actual cause, feed back whole B position, even if r < is r max.As r < r maxtime, the C position feedback message of not encoding only comprises useful information position, because M r+1, K, do not carry useful information.Whether receiving mistakenly these does not use position unimportant.For error protection is D bits of coded by C position feedback report chnnel coding.
In existing solution, all C information bits are carried out to chnnel coding with equal error protection to feedback report.For example, if t or mistake still less in transmitted D bit word, occur, " t error correction binary code " will decode to correct feedback report.Therefore, the problem of existing equal protection solution is, in the time that error protection needs most (for example, high path loss/geometric size and common low r), with M used 0, K, M ridentical protection class is not to using M r+1, K, encode.
For improving overall CQI error performance, use unequal error protection (UEP) code.UEP code is well-known and is studied in the literature, for example, referring to Masnick B., " On linear unequal error protection codes " (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory of Wolf J., vo1.3, no.4, 600-607 page, in October, 1967), and Boyarinov I.M., " Linear unequal error protection codes " (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory of Katsman G.L., vo1.37, no.2, 168-175 page, in March, 1981), thereby here provide no longer in detail.In brief, UEP code is to information word in different digital realize unequal error protection characteristic.
With reference to Fig. 9 A, the principle that the present invention applies is shown again.C=A+ ∑ b ithe long feedback report of information bit, through coding, for example makes wherein f 1m 1error protection grade.In the time that random error appears in D bit word, higher error protection grade represents that information bit more may be correctly decoded.Depend on M 0content, f 0comparable f 1higher or lower.But, f 0should be greater than f 2.
Feedback report is limited to not bits of coded and D bits of coded of C.The present invention distributes error protection between low transmission order r situation and high-transmission order r situation, and the out of Memory transmitting while making the useful information of low r higher than r is subject to more protections.This is subject to the inspiration that contacts between low transmission order r and higher error protection needs.In context more generally, advantage of the present invention is to utilize following true ability: some part of feedback message is conventionally mainly useful to higher geometric size/lower path loss, and the condition of wherein carrying the reverse chain channel of feedback message is also tending towards better.
Certainly,, in the situation that not deviating from fundamental characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can realize by being different from the concrete alternate manner proposing herein.Current embodiment will be counted as illustrative and not restrictive in all respects.
